Pasta Bowls

 This is a technique I learned from the chefs at a resort where we stayed in Mexico.  They would make it to order right in front of you.  You can use any kind of pasta, sauce, and veggies to create your pasta bowl.

We did bowtie pasta with marinara sauce, meatball, chopped onion, mushrooms, garlic, and fresh tomatoes.

Pasta Bowls

Individual Pasta of choice: Rotelle, penne, farfalle, shells, etc.

Sauce/ sauces  of choice: marinara, meat sauce, alfredo

Chopped vegetables of choice: mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, peppers, squash, etc.

Cook pasta according to directions.  While it is cooking:

Heat some oil in a small sauté pan.  Cook vegetables of choice until softened.

When the vegetables are cooked to your liking, add sauce of choice.  Stir and cook together until hot.  Add in cooked pasta.  Cook for a minute, then put on plate or in bowl and top with parmesan cheese.

Each individual can make their own, or you can do as big a batch as you like for as many as you like.
